Tips for Adjusting Tie Rods on Cub 100
Hello,
I’m interested in any recommendations on how best to adjust the length of the tie rod distances for a Cub 100. I have the manual but the section covering this procedure isn’t very clear (at least not to me). Does anyone have a center to center length measurement that is standard for the rod that connects between the two spindles? I’d like to get an accurate setting to ensure proper toe-in. Also, same goes for the rod that connects to the steering column. If it matters, I just installed the Heim joints from McMaster Carr instead of the stock style. Thanks!

There is not such thing as a "standard length" to adjust a tie rod to. You have to do each and every tractor individually.
Disconnect the drag link from the steering box to the front left spindle. Set the toe in. I shoot for between 1/8" and 1/4". Then, connect the drag link between the steering box and the front left spindle. Set the length of it so that it steers the same in both directions. Pretty easy.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
